Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate HD (282530) Fullscreen scaling is off

[Zero86Sk]

Using proton 3.7.4 beta

there is a minor fixable issue:

• there is a black picture on the main menu, and graphical glitches. It can be completely fixed by running the game with: PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%

there is a bigger issue:

• If you run the game at (fullscreen) and a lower resolution than your native screen the game will not scale properly. *It will have an odd white border arround the game.

I fixed it by somehow navigating the menus to options and set it to run in windowed mode. Than It scales properly

1080p Fullscreen

720p Fullscreen

720p Windowed

(this fixes the resolution scaling)

The Gameplay itself is working nicely. Even Whitelist worthy. Im just confliced with the fullscreen mode scaling.

Hello @shoober420, err:module:load_so_dll failed to load .so lib "/home/jukilo420_-/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/dist/bin/../lib/wine/dinput8.dll.so": libSDL2-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory is the line of interest from your log. This is provided by the Steam runtime, which you've disabled, so it's your problem to solve.

I think it's an issue with Wine and not with DXVK.

[shoober420]

I use SDL2 git master builds, and update almost daily. I’m going to see if that SDL2 symlink is present.

[shoober420]

SDL2 could have updated the makefile or compile options and doesn’t include that symlink anymore. I’ll look deeper into this when I get home.

Thank you for pointing that out @kisak-valve, and sorry for the confusion.

[shoober420]

Got it! For some reason, I had to create the symlink for “libSDL2-2.0.so.0” in “/use/lib” and “/usr/lib32”. I’ll retest everything tomorrow after work!

[NerosTie]

Can you report it on protondb too? :)

[shoober420]

@NerosTie I’m not sure if Wine / Proton is now looking for this particular SDL2 symlink as of now instead of the previous SDL2 lib, but I’ll leave the symlink there. I noticed this behavior starting with Proton 5.0-3.

I honestly wouldn’t consider this a big, just a odd decision. Why Proton now looks for that specific SDL2 lib now is uncertain.

This would lead to some distros having to create the symlinks when installing their SDL2 package to avoid this very issue. I build SDL2 from git master daily, and that specifically named symlink is not created by default.

Hello @shoober420, can you check if running the game with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the game's launch options has an effect?

[shoober420]

@kisak-valve Using "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1" does fix the issue.
